5. I'm guessing he wants billionaire's money in his pocket

but not in Californian's pockets. What a shame to throw away his political career for so little from so few after all the good that he has stood for. He will run in '28 but I will not vote for him in the primary. That means about 30 votes at least, in my extended family that will not vote for him in the primary.

He had no problem raising our gasoline taxes to pay for Cal Trans or turning tax payer funded highways into private toll roads, or raising car registration fees but when it comes to taxing billionaires to raise money to fund a State Medical cost shortfall he's very concerned with saving them money.
